HMC266

The HMC266 chip is a broadband GaAs MMIC sub-harmonically pumped (x2) balanced passive mixer which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter in a small overall chip area of 1.9 mm2. The 2LO to RF isolation is excellent eliminating the need for additional fi ltering. All data is with the chip in a 50 ohm test fi xture connected via 0.076 mm (3 mil) ribbon bonds of minimal length <0.31 mm (<12 mils). These HMC266 devices are much smaller and more reliable than hybrid diode mixer designs.
